unfunded quality demand register

ABSTRACT The Board has acknowledged that there might be a circumstance where the Global Fund will want to provide support to a non-eligible country experiencing a health crisis (e.g. Venezuela). The Board tasked the Secretariat with preparing proposals for countries in this situation and said that the proposals will have to describe how the support would be funded. The Board is concerned about the potential impact on programs in eligible countries if the Fund supports non-eligible countries in crisis. The Secretariat appears frustrated with how this issue has been handled up to now.

ABSTRACT The latest batch of funding approvals for 2017–2019 may have been comparatively small ($40.5 million for three new grants plus $40.6 million for 10 matching fund requests), but there are interesting developments to report regarding each of the new grants. The Board has also approved additional funding of $4.0 million for a Kenya HIV grant as a result of a private sector contribution.

ABSTRACT The Global Fund Board recently approved a TB, an HIV and a malaria grant for Nepal, all of which have a civil society principal recipient: Save the Children Federation. The Technical Review Panel cited numerous strengths in the funding requests, including the fact that Nepal is on its way towards malaria elimination, and that the country is planning to assume 100% of ARV costs by 2020 and triple its financial commitments to the TB program. However, there are concerns that lack of progress on human rights could compromise the attainment of HIV diagnosis and care targets.

ABSTRACT The Global Fund has posted its Register of Unfunded Quality Demand online. There are two databases, one for 2014-2016 and one for 2017-2019. The Fund has indicated that in 2014-2016 almost $1 billion in interventions from the register were funded.
